(renamed "Drug War Chronicle" effective issue #300, August 2003) Issue #56, 8/28/98
"Raising Awareness of the Consequences of Drug Prohibition" CORRECTION: Oops! In the email version of Issue #55, the editorial failed to include the source of the report which showed that one in every thirty-five American adults is either in prison or jail, on probation or parole. That report was issued by the Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice (as was indicated in the news story in the same issue). NOTE: You can also find Adam's editorials each week in G-21 "The World's Magazine" a terrific online zine featuring news, satire, humor and more. Check out G-21 at http://www.g21.net.
